Answer 1

Given

BAKING Chelsea is baking pies for a fundraiser at her school. She

divides each 9-inch pie into 6 equal slices.

Step 1

Find the area of circle

`\begin{gathered} r=9 \\ \text{Area of circle =}\pi r^2 \\ \text{Area of the circular pie =}\pi9^2 \\ \\ \text{Area of the circular pie =}81\pi \end{gathered}`

Step 2

She divides each 9-inch pie into 6 equal slices.

`(81\pi)/(6)=(27\pi)/(2)`

The area in square inches, for each slice of pie

`(27\pi)/(2)=\: 42.4115inches^2`

Part B

If each slice costs $0.25 to make and she sells 8 pies at $1.25 for each slice

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ pie =6slices} \\ 8\text{ pie =6}*8 \\ 8\text{ pie =48 slices} \end{gathered}`

Now

To make pie

`48*0.25=12`

sells

`48*1.25=60`

Profit = S. p - C.P

`60-12\text{ =\$48}`
